Beliefs ought to bob around in the stream of evidence as a random walk without trend. When, in contrast, you can see a belief try to swim somewhere, right under your nose, that’s fishy.
Really good metaphor. I will surely borrow it.
(Rotten fish don’t really swim, so here the analogy breaks down. Sorry.)
If a supposedly-rotten fish is swimming, though, that’s certainly reason to be suspicious.
